In Nakhon Si Thammarat's Tha Rue sub-district, residents were shocked by the grim discovery of a man's decomposed body in a palm plantation. The unsettling find occurred on June 19, evoking memories of a similar unsolved case from two years ago.

 

Prominent from a foul odour, locals searched the area, leading to the body concealed beneath leaves in a canal. The man, clad in a dark blue T-shirt and shorts, had suffered extensive decomposition, rendering facial identification impossible. His hands were handcuffed, and his legs bound with a white cloth, suggesting he had been deceased for at least two weeks.

 

Authorities from Chamao Police Station, accompanied by medical personnel from Maharaj Hospital, arrived promptly to examine the scene. Initial police assessments suggest the victim was murdered elsewhere before being dumped in the remote plantation, notorious for its difficult access and infrequent use by locals.

 

The incident recalls a similar unsolved case from two years ago in the same area. A Thai man was found shot and abandoned, his hands similarly cuffed. No suspects were apprehended in that case either.

 

The gruesome discovery has heightened concerns in the community, and police are appealing for any information that might shed light on the victim's identity or the circumstances surrounding his death. The investigation is ongoing as officers work to determine links between the cases and uncover those responsible.
